Quick, somebody buy it, so I can stop worrying about how I could get it to Sydney.

I'm the same, spent a fair bit of last night wondering how I could get it to Tassie. It appears to be near Ballarat. Any locals to the area want to do me a deal?

These guys are amazing. Doing a depot pickup your end helps, as well. I got a bike from Bundaberg to Sydney; very easy/inexpensive.If you sweet-talked them, the most difficult thing they'd have to do is get a castaway bike box form their LBS.

Well I did end up trying to contact the seller to see if they'd be willing to drop it off at a freight depot, but it sold before they got back to me. I can stop worrying now too . I hope it was somebody here who made the purchase and can post pics once they collect it. Looks like a good buy.

NOW THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE A NEW SET OF FORKS AS THEY HAVE GOT A CREASE IN THEM.NOT SURE HOW THEY GOT LIKE THAT AS THATS THE WAY I BOUGHT THE BIKE.WAS INTENDING ON FIXING BUT SELLING INSTEAD

Less the mirage group I just bought from you if that vetta was a tad smaller I'd be all over it...

Well done.....purchased the campy group for the Vetta and even had it mounted to the frame...... that's as far as I got with it....

Frame is a tad too big for me to be comfortable.......another reason it has to go......

"In American picker terms, farm or barnyard fresh", um no, in american picker terms "worthless pile of old carp" perhaps. EDIT: perhaps a little harsh, but then asking $1,000 is more than just a little nuts.

As for "would look great in a glass display case", i just...i....i don't know.
